Up for sale is my 1960 Porsche 356 B Super Coupe #113896, a great running car, solid throughout, well maintained over the years. The factory color on the driverside door hinge cover is 738 or "Elfenbein" (Ivory). The paint has great depth and reflection and is very sharp on the car for being an older restoration. The previous owner said that the car was painted in the early 1990s. There are a few minor knicks/scratches from over the years, but the the overall integrity of the paint is very fine reflecting how well it has been cared for during the years. This Porsche presents very well and is very attractive. It shows well and brings you over to look at the car. The front of the car has hard to find Marchal foglights as well as stone screens over the headlights. The chrome on these is perfect!. The lights are in working order. Again, all lights work, horn, tachometer, speedometer, gas tank gauge, temperature gauge, windshield wipers and radio are all working. The odometer is currently not working. Emergency brake holds well, engine compartment opens easily with a pull of the knob by the rear seat and the front bonnet opens easily with a pull on the knob under the dash. The chrome on the car is in excellent condition: bumper guards are excellent as are the mirrors and luggage rack on the engine lid. Hubcaps and wheels are striking, again the chrome is excellent. The chrome window frames for the front windows and quarter windows on both sides are very clean and their chrome is brilliant as well. The BF Goodrich tires are near new and the car "tracks" very well as it goes down the road at 55 miles per hour. It does not pull to one side or the other. The clutch is fine and all synchros are fine. The car shifts smoothly in all forward gears as well as reverse. There is no clutch chatter or anything of the sort. The car maintains its original 6 volt system and and carries a 6 volt Optima battery for ease of starting. Once the key is in the ignition and after pressing the accelerator once, the engine roars to life and runs without any hesitation. The carburetors were changed over to Webers and the car idles evenly at 750 rpm and will hold this idle indefinitely without touching the accelerator. I have taken pictures of the engine and it appears to have been rebuilt fairly recently. Pushrod tubes look shiny and the engine case is very clean all over. The engine has an unstamped third piece. The original heat control boxes were maintained on the car and all of the cables are hooked up for the heat on the car. The original drum brakes stop the car evenly and well with no pulsation or pulling to either side. Brake drums have been media blasted and are very clean. There is one bubble on the driver side door and some "waviness" on the bottom of the driver side door close to the front of the door. This isn't bubbles but waviness as you run your hand over it. The bottom of the doors are very solid and there is no scaly rust nor rust holes on the bottom of the doors. There is one small spot on the rear of the car about the size of a pencil eraser. I have shown pictures of this so that you can get an exact idea. Fitment of the door and hood and engine lid are excellent and all close well and maintain their gaps. The floors are excellent throughout as can be seen by the photos. Jackspurs look good. It appears that there was a minor repair on the passenger side longitudinal at some point but it is overall very solid. The interior is very nice, seats are in excellent condition, the chrome hinges/recliners on the seats are excellent, back seats show well, German weave carpets are clean and show well, headliner appears original and has faded slightly but is in very good condition. We have ordered the COA from Porsche and will forward this to the new owner. As we note, the car came to us with the "Super" emblem and we believe the car to be a Super.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.

Porsche reveals new 911 Turbo Cabriolets, starting from $160,700*

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Porsche has come a long way from the days when its entire model line revolved essentially around the 911, but its prototypical rear-engined sports car is still what it's known for best, and still keeps the German automaker pretty busy. With a seemingly endless array of variations on the theme, the 911s just keep on coming until a new generation arrives and then it starts all over again. And what we have here is the new king of the hill (for now, anyway).
Set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show a little less than two months from now are the new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolets. And no, that's not a typo: that's cabriolets, plural, because what you're looking at are two new models. First up is the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, whose 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six develops 520 horsepower, driving the droptop to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds. That's Porsche's claim, and we have a feeling it's a bit conservative. But if that's still not enough, the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet adds an extra 40 hp for a total of 560 to drop the benchmark acceleration run down to 3.1 seconds.
That makes the new topless Turbos 30 horses stronger and 0.2 seconds quicker than the respective models they replace, but the weight penalty involved with replacing a fixed roof with a folding one (and the necessary structural reinforcement) does make the new 911 Turbo Cabs a smidgen more lethargic than their contemporary coupe counterparts, which run the gauntlet in 3.2 and 2.9 seconds in standard Turbo and upgraded Turbo S specs, respectively. They only lose a single tick on the top speed, though, which clocks in at a follicle-tickling 195 mph in either spec. Otherwise the specifications are as identical as you might expect.

Ford Mustang outsold Audi TT and Porsche 911 in Germany

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Despite being the antithesis of the cars Germany is known for, the new Ford Mustang was the best selling sports car in the land of schnitzel and beer last month by a whisker. The Mustang beat out the Audi TT by 780 units to 708, and it beat Germany's best known performance car, the Porsche 911, 780 to 752. That makes some sense, right? The Mustang has to be cheaper than those competitors, right? Not really. Both the EcoBoost and V8-powered Mustang have higher starting prices than the equivalent TT. The 2.3-liter, EcoBoost-powered Mustang starts at 38,000 euros (around $43,300 at today's rates), while the front-drive Audi TT starts at 35,950 euros (about $41,000). The V8-powered Mustang GT, meanwhile, starts at 43,000 euros (about $49,000), which is just 2,550 euros more than the Quattro-equipped TT. When 310 horsepower or 435 hp can be had for just a couple thousand more than 220 hp, it's easy to understand the Mustang's success. The 911, of course, is a lot more expensive than the Mustang. You can buy two Mustang GTs for the price of a single Carrera. But Ford also managed to beat out the Porsche's smaller siblings, the Boxster and Cayman twins, which sold a combined 642 vehicles. Again, the pony car is significantly cheaper, but that doesn't do much to lessen the impact of the Mustang's victory. If you're in Germany and are concerned about this American invasion, you shouldn't be (yet). The TT is Germany's best-selling sports car from January through March, with 2,299 to the Ford's 1,823. Porsche is breathing down the pony car's neck, too, with 1,811 units in 2016. It'll be interesting to see if Ford's successful March carries on into the rest of 2016. Related Video:
